If you enroll in the CareFirst Dental PPO, you have the freedom to select the dentist of your choice. Generally, you receive a higher level of benefits if you receive dental services from a participating (in-network) PPO dentist. If you receive dental services from a non-participating (out-of-network) dentist, you receive a less generous level of benefits.
